One Hundred Forty-Six explores the March 25, 1911, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire through dance, text, video, photography and original music. The movement, generated by Murphy and cast members, evokes images of textile work, individual workers and their relationships, as well as the fire.

The performance of this work coincides with Women’s History month and the 101st anniversary of the fire.

Who We Are

The Remember the Triangle Fire Coalition connects individuals and organizations with the 1911 Triangle Factory Fire — one of the pivotal events in US history and a turning point in labor’s struggle to achieve fair wages, dignity at work and safe working conditions. Outrage at the deaths of 146 mostly young, female immigrants inspired the union movement and helped to institute worker protections and fire safety laws. Today, basic rights and benefits in the workplace are not a guarantee in the United States or across the world. We believe it is more vital than ever that these issues are defended.
